PHOTO OF OSWALD IN TSBD WINDOW:
http://vincepalamara.com
I can't upload the image--it always says it is too big...and I can't cut and paste anything (what happened?), so you'll just have to go the link and see my blog.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Here's the pic Vince wanted to post (click to make it full-sized).....
VINCE PALAMARA SAID:
Thanks, DVP.
I have a feeling Pat Speer will be bummed out by this photo. Even though Oswald lost his body, it appears his head is in the window; darn...
Author Leroy Blevins swears this is genuine (!)
Blevins "swears" he did not alter this photo...oh, brother LOL
RAY MITCHAM SAID:
If that's Oswald in the picture, then he is either standing on a box or he is over seven feet tall.
PAT SPEER SAID:
If you look in the four window panes isolated on the right, David, it's 100% clear that Oswald's face (or the face of someone looking like Oswald) is visible on the two eastward panes. It also seems clear, moreover, that this has been inserted into the picture.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Yes! I see it now.
I don't know why I couldn't see it yesterday, but I sure do see it now.
It would be nice if this "face" were real. But it's almost certainly a fake.
In addition to adding Oswald's face to the Dillard photo of the TSBD, the photo-faker(s) also played around with the tinting of the picture. It almost looks like it's been colorized slightly (check the color of the sky on the far right). Or maybe a better term might be: it's been given a sepia type of hue.
The original photograph taken by Tom Dillard, of course, is a black-and-white picture (top photo below)....
TOM HUME SAID:
A little help please: I’m unable to see the Oswald look-a-like being discussed. Assuming that I’m not alone, and assuming this could be a worthwhile discussion, would someone please post an outline of the person/fabricated-person in the window?
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
You're not alone, Tom. Yesterday, I couldn't find the "Oswald face" either. Now I can see it clear as a bell. And once you find the right place to look, you'll easily be able to see it again from then on, every time you look at this image.
I've added the yellow boxes around "Oswald" here....
And after looking at CE482 in the Warren Commission volumes again just now, I've got to tell you, I was quite surprised to find something in that same area of the window that generally lines up with the "Oswald face" in the "enhanced" and higher-quality image Vince Palamara posted yesterday.
I certainly wouldn't go so far as to call it a distinquishable "face" in CE482, but there are some similarities.
It could very well be that a photo-faker has merely "enhanced" the dirt on the window panes and turned the dirt into Lee Harvey Oswald's face. The person who "enhanced" the image likely used Oswald's mug shot. (See the montage photo that I made below.)
On the far left is CE482, which is the real Tom Dillard photo as it appears on Page 200 of Warren Commission Volume 17.....
TOM HUME SAID:
Tallyho! Now I see it - thanks David.
Now maybe Ray Mitcham's post might be addressed:
"If that's Oswald in the picture, then he is either standing on a box or he is over seven feet tall."
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Tom,
The window sills in the TSBD were very low, as we can see in the photos below (CE 488 and 489). Someone of Oswald's height (5-feet-9), when standing, would definitely reach the upper windows, as seen here:
LEN COLBY SAID:
LOL. Bad fake!
TOM HUME SAID:
So to my rather primitive way of thinking, unless someone (maybe someone on this very forum) can take the original image and convincingly show that with a little tweaking the Oswald-like image can be produced, the image under discussion is likely the result [of] someone having their way with Photoshop.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
I agree, Tom.
ROBIN UNGER SAID:
There is no face in the window.

DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
Thanks, Robin.
As I thought, some photo-faker has utilized the dirt on the window to create "Oswald's face".
The same connect-the-dirt task can easily be performed in other parts of the same Depository window to create additional "faces" too. Like the one I've circled below. Looks like a woman this time. Maybe it's Dorothy Kilgallen.
So it would seem as if dirt and pixels make very good "face maker" tools indeed....
